Should I comment on the image? Na. You're all smart enough to figure it out, right?I rearranged THINGS today before my advisees came pouring in. Okay, there were like four advisees and I wrapped up meeting with all of them within an hour (still, 15min per advisee is a nice time), but that's not my point. The point is that I kind of cleaned up my office. That's HUGE for me. And I probably did because it wasn't DEATHLY hot in there today. Gawd bless Ma Nature and her ability to chill out once in awhile, eh? Totally.
I was an UBER crabby pants today. First, it was a JOINT VENTING session with my officemate about certain students (ya know, that 20% that skipped the second day of class and/or didn't read the first simple, tiny reading) and then it was a mini-bitch session AT the campus police chief about my apt's parking lot. I realized my crabby state, however, and said aloud to Anne that I needed to let it all go. It's overwhelming to go from NOTHING - no physical students or classroom or weather issues - to ALL KINDS OF CHAOS. I blame it all on Ma Nature. Yes, 85% of it because if I'm able to NOT SWEAT in class or my office, I tend to have a 85% increase in attitude. True freakin' story. (I just used a phrase by Megan and a statistic by Chuck Klosterman; I give credit where credit's due, man). Yeah. So, if we can keep the sweating to a MINIMUM for the rest of the semester, I'll be okay. Students will skip and not read, but I don't HAVE TO SWEAT JUST BY SITTING do I? No. Let's leave that for when I finally start exercising, okay? Okay. Great. Wonderful. Fantastic. Peachy keen.
So, food food food...
FJ: (b) cereal + brownie? (l) pb&j sammie + D.Coke + a few almonds&raisins + a small Babe Ruth bar. (d) 6 buffalo wings (bone-in) & about 3-4 pieces (some were corner pieces) of Vinny's Hawaiian 'za. Mm mm. Oh, and for dessert = brownie w/maple nut icecream. Water as the liquid. Yep.
